LIMNINGS.
 In London. Lord Noodle {to Mir. Blaine)-"I saw your distinguished countryman yesterday"
 Blaine-"Whom do you mean?"
 "Why, Buffalo Bill: You know him, of course"
 "No. I have never met him."
 Lord Noodle (aside to friend)- "This man Blaine is an impostor. He is not acquainted in his own country"
 It was doubtless the fault of the 1'make-up' that the following ap- peared to such "grim advantage" in a Chicago paper:
 "J. w. Brewiski was shot and killed this morning by a man named His chelly."
 "Prof. Swing will lecture in Central Music hall tonight"
 "An unknown man who had doubt less been murdered was found in the La Salle street tunnel this morning."
 "Dr. Thomas will preach at Me- Vicker's tomorrow.
 Extract from a Missouri paper. @'Our numerous readers will be glad to hear that Alonzo Borns, that prince of good fellows and crown-prince of courtesy, has accepted the position of bartender at the McGribbin house. Alonzo was for many years the leading spirit of the Hole in the Wall, where he made many friends. His promo tion, we are pleased to state, has not turned his head, but on the contrary he greets his friends just as cordially as he did when he was obscure and comparatively unknown in our town"
 A few years ago Joseph Pulitzer was handling barrels of salt in St. Louis. Now, he is handling barrels of sugar" in New York. The secret o1 his success is that he stuck to his pur- pose and kept on rolling barrels. What lesson this is for you, oh ye young men of America and other for eign countries. How it points out the sublimity of fixedness of purpose. This is not exactly what we aimed at but 1t will do. It plainly says, stick to your fort. Why, one of the richest men in this country is manufacturer of porous plasters. Made his money by sticking to his plasters, and the other day, upon taking his son into partnership he remarked, "stick to your plasters, my boy, and they'll stick to you" What a lesson! What picture for young men to take up and gaze upon! It makes no difference how many men have achieved success, the prizes in the great store-house of industry remain just the same. One success, instead of pointing to fail ure, points to another success. Why, young man, the world is before you, waiting to be gobbled up. Do not lose your chance. Do not wait for the clouds to roll by, Jennie, but roll them away. The first great lesson to learn is, make money. After you have made money, success is comparatively easy. Very few rich men have died in the poor house. There is a point for you. Yes, in order to be financially successful man must have money. The above is taken from "Advice to Boys" printed in a juvenile maga- zine.
 A Kentuckian writing to friend, says: "You recollect that willow cov- cred flask that Tom Potter had, the one that you wanted SO bad. He thought the world of it, for it hil a quart and was the handiest thing I ever seed. Wall, it's no more, for Tom got into shootin' fracas the other day and the flask was broke all to pieces. We boys picked up the pieces and looked at lem sadly, but it want no use, fur the flask was done broke. That very mornin' Andy Gilchrist offered Tom seventy-fi five cents for it, but it didn't budge him, but reckon if he had knowed what was going to happen he would have tuck it. Some how we all felt like something was going to happen, an we crowded around Tom an told him to sell it, that in this world of uncertainties some misfortune mout come prancing along an overtake it, but no, head strong, like all the members of his family, he wouldn't take it, an now that beautiful flask is broken into a thousand pieces. Thar aint no news in this neighborhood. Game is scace an the fish won't bite. Uncle Caleb Brown fell offen the spring house yistiday an broke his neck. He was good old man an' mighty fine judge of Ticker. forgot to state that Tom Potter was killed at the same time the flask was broke. Give my love to all ars tell Alb Lyons that the Patter- sons air layin' fur him an Tow to salt him down ef he ever comes back here.n &8
